PITTSBURGH - Carey Price looked sharper. And Sidney Crosby looked like, well, Sidney Crosby.
Having said that, Team Canada coach Mike Babcock and his staff will still have some tinkering to do if they want the hosts to be fully prepared for their opening game of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey Saturday night against the Czech Republic at the Air Canada Centre.
Indeed Price appeared to be on the mark in Canada’s final exhibition game, which saw Crosby and co. defeat Team Russia 3-2 in overtime at the CONSOL Energy Center on Wednesday, thanks to a Ryan Getzlaf goal with 1:31 remaining in the extra frame.
